Elle 18 Eye Drama Bold Black is a jackpot!

Elle 18 has recently launched it's Eye Drama Bold Black Eye Pencil which the brand claims lasts all day and is smudge-proof. Being an Elle18 fan, I had to take a look at it. Every beauty-addict and every non-beauty-addict would admit having loved Elle 18 at some point. For me, I like the brand. It's what you get for what you pay and that being said, this time I think I hit jackpot because I honestly feel I got way more than what I paid for!

My Experience of Elle18 Eye Drama in Bold Black:

The liner is a twist up one. For the price and the fact that there are so many brands catering similar products at higher price, I did not expect much. But, contrary to that, the pencil feels like any higher-priced product. I mean, it does not look or feel cheap at all.

Coming to the product itself, during hand-swatch, the Elle 18 pencil glided on like a traditional kajal with an intense dark pigmentation with no touch of grey! It's just blackest black like a kajal.
I tried smudging right-away and the Elle18 color did smudge around and then set.

I swatched it again and this time, I let it set for about ten to twenty seconds and then I tried rubbing it. This time I am not kidding, it just did not budge! I tried rubbing harder and harder and no matter what I did, it did not smudge at all!I went for a bath right after and I used soap which faded it lightly. I scrubbed which faded it further, but it wasn't gone until I put on body lotion.

On my eyes, I am wearing the kajal while I am writing this review and it has been more than 8 hours, the liner has not smudged to make a mess around my eyes which usually happens with any liner and I have accepted that. Only the corners have smudged which I cannot blame.

Verdict: I think right now, that this Bold Black pencil from Elle 18 is one of the best eye liners I can think of, not to mention the price. I am pretty surprised and smitten by the brand again!Do I recommend? I cannot think of one reason why I would not recommend. I cannot find one single flaw.

Shall I repurchase? I am already planning to get hold of back ups.

If you love kajals or pencil liners in deepest black with no touch of grey, Elle18 Eye Drama in Bold Black it is!

I really really wish Elle18 expanded its range of makeup and I would look forward to that day!

If I have to tell you about my latest makeup phase, it has to be natural, barely there, clean, yet fresh faced look. And contours and bronzers have become an integral part of it. As I am shopping my stash, I reached for the Lakme Absolute Sunkissed Bronzer.

Price: 750 INR ( Not sure if this was a limited edition)

My Experience:

Initially, I did not give this bronzer much of a thought mostly because I wasn't sure how to make this

Have you ever wondered why a company after just nailing something suddenly withdraws a product? I keep wondering if they do it out of sadistic pleasure or they like shooting their own foot. Yes, that is precisely the case with L'Oreal Paris Philippines. About 1 and half years ago, I spotted these foundations from L'Oreal Paris and a very efficient SA helped me find my shade which was W7 Caramel Beige.

Initially, I got it just our of curiosity since I was going through that phase of full face of makeup because my skin was in a nightmare stage. When I first applied full face, I was just taken aback! The shade was a tone tad deeper like I have tanned well. But everything else surprised me!

Price: 400 PHP ( around 550 INR) for 30 ml ( I think this has been withdrawn)

Let me try explaining how on multiple levels it was grand!

The texture is runny, very liquid. I took a little bit, a less than a pea size and dotted all over my face and then blended out with my flat top kabuki. The r…

Since I have been trying to make the most of my stash without wasting, I decided to list down a few products which I enjoy using and would like to finish up by 2019. It should not have been difficult, yet, somehow, some of these have been around for quite sometime now and I don't want to throw these away, I decided to impart some tough love. Let's begin,
